Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: There aren't a lot of books that you read in your life that stay with you for very long. This is one that does. This book was given to me by a friend when I was starting my own personal journey. I literally was also on a journey across the country in hopes of finding myself. This was 10 years ago. I am now on my third copy of this book. The first one was eaten by my one year old Labrador. He liked the book too.This is without a doubt my favorite book to give to people to read in the hopes that they will experience some of the same things I did after reading this. It's actually been a while since I last read this book, but I think it's time to read it again so I can relive the journey.

Summary: Therapy in a paperback cover!
Review: This book is a nervous breakdown disquised as a humorus, and very touching, trip through one man's life. If you have never read any of Edward Abbey's work here is where you should start- because this book is were his life ended up

Summary: Best Book

Summary: Live. At least until you die.
Review: This is one of the best and most memorable books I've read (having just finished it for the second time). It often lays bare innermost thoughts we all have but can't find words for. It often leaves you wondering "how could he have known...?" Yes. And this book makes me want to quit my office job, drink beer, eat beans, call friends and family, and get outside for prolonged periods of time. Oh yeah. And it makes me want to talk with my dog more. This book is about enjoying--not enduring--both the difficult and the easy; the ugly and the beautiful. It's about plain old good and well-fashioned living. In one man's opinion, anyway. Buy it. ...

Summary: Not for everyone, but I loved it.
Review: This sprawling, rambunctious book shares the spirit of "Travels with Charley" and "Blue Highways". The uniquely American catharsis of going down the road in search of, to escape, or merely reflect upon one's higher passage HAS to be the basis of The Great American Novel. Abbey bares his soul in one courageous attempt at coming to grips with his mortality. Along the way he shares with us his reflections on just about everything, perhaps WAY too much for many readers. But, oh, to experience a style of writing comparable to Wallace Stegner or Steinbeck. This book will stay with you forever.

Summary: Good novel about life's journey.
Review: This was Abbey's second-to-last novel, and should be known as his swan song. It is about a dying man, and his journey backwards through time and space, to his beginnings. Harry Lightcap is definately not a "politically correct" character, but he is a deep thinker, and a free man. This book is unsentimental, and a bit funny. I definately recommend reading this book.

Summary: My Favorite Ed Abbey Book - And I Have Them All!
Review: This wonderful novel is Ed's "Fat Masterpiece" heworked on for years and years. If you knew Ed at all you'll realizethis is as close to an autobiography as he ever got. I finishedreading it ( the first of many times ) just the day before he died, and as I closed the book I simply said "Whew! Thanks Ed!" All of his other non-fiction books got me to thinking, while this one really got me to appreciate the life of the man who wrote them. This is Ed Abbey's masterpiece indeed!

Summary: Forgot to take my ginko ...
Review: Wait! wait up! I forgot what I really wanted to say: This book has the greatest last line since "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." (Hey, no cheating. You gotta read all the preceeding lines first.)
